skinnymixer’s Low Carb Greek Frittata

I am terrible with eating breakfast and even worse with eating eggs for breakfast.I much prefer to intermittent fast until around 11am and then opt for a filling and nutritious brunch – I have also found this works well for me with weightloss and maintenance. I love doing frittatas in the Thermomix because they are healthy, quick, yummy and there is very little cleaning up required. This frittata uses my Greek Spice Mix from The Healthy Mix cookbook, but I have provided a substitute in the notes. I have also provided a variation in the notes if you are wanting to turn this into a ‘super skinny’ or low calorie meal. Happy mixing, Love Nik xx

Add 300 g or 10.6 oz water to the mixer bowl, put the steaming trays in place and steam for 15 min/steaming temperature/speed 3 or until cooked.

Garnish with spring onion, cracked pepper and salt to taste.

Notes

If you don't own a copy of The Healthy Mix, you can substitute the Greek Spice Mix for ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp dried basil and ¼ tsp dried oregano.

If you would like this to be a low calorie/low fat meal substitute 2 of the eggs for egg white and use low fat ricotta instead of cream.

Use your blunt blade for this recipe.

At step 3 add on extra mixing time if required.At step 5 use ST temp if using an Intelli and 120-130°C or 250-270°F if using a Supercook. If using an Intelli place a tea towel over the lid of the steamer to help keep the heat in. Add on cooking time if required.

Just made this, and it was really nice. I didn’t have cream so substituted with light sour cream and couldn’t even taste the difference. Also added some black kalamata olives to up the ‘Greekness’. Definitely will make it again!

Sitting here eating it for my work lunch. I froze the Greek Frittata into serving sizes so as I would have something healthy for lunches. I heat it up on the toast and snack maker as we do not have cooking utensils. It freezes and defrosts so well and the taste is just as delicious. This is going to be a staple in my diet from here on in

I made this for breakfast this morning, I had it cooking while I packed lunchboxes. delicious! Perhaps my fetta was a salty variety, as my only feedback would be that next time I’ll only add 1/2 tsp of salt or maybe leave it out. I had to stop my 2 & 4 year olds from eating all of it 🙂 it’ll be a regular in my house now!
